Wasteland Weekend is an annual festival in California City, California. The event is listed as a full immersion event, with all participants required to adhere to the set theme. First held in 2010, it has since been held annually in September.

The festival includes post-apocalyptic themed costumes, campsites and vehicles, live bands and DJs, fire, burlesque and other performers, and Jugger matches (The post-apocalyptic bloodsport of the future).

In 2019, the 10th-anniversary edition of Wasteland Weekend was held between Sept 25 and Sept 29. The festival includes themed costumes, live bands and DJs, fireperformers, post-apocalyptic campsites and vehicles.

The theme of Wasteland Weekend draws heavily from apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction, especially the Mad Max franchise, and requires all attendees to wear appropriately themed clothing.
